This article covers the most common icons you may encounter on the MainWP Dashboard.

​
Sync and Check Now bulk actions

Status icons showing red, yellow, and green indicators during bulk actions During bulk Sync Data and Check Now actions, a popup modal is displayed, and status icons are shown next to each site. You can hover your mouse cursor over these icons to reveal more information.
  • Red exclamation mark indicates that the process failed. For example, it could be due to the fact that the MainWP Child plugin was not reachable on the Child Site.
  • Yellow exclamation mark indicates that the process timed out. The tooltip shows Process timed out. Please try again.
  • Yellow pause icon indicates that the site is suspended. Learn more in Suspend or Unsuspend a Child Site.
  • Green check mark indicates that the process was completed successfully.

​
Header Sync button

The top header Sync button can show a small red pulsating badge. This badge appears when the most recent sync timestamp exists and is older than 24 hours.
  • In global context, MainWP checks overall MainWP Dashboard sync status.
  • In single-site context, MainWP checks the current site sync timestamp.
When no red badge is shown:
  • If sync data is recent, the tooltip shows Last sync: … with sync guidance.
  • If no sync timestamp exists yet, the tooltip shows sync guidance such as Click here to sync all sites.
  • In single-site context with no sync timestamp yet, the tooltip can show Get fresh data from example.com.
Click Sync to start a data synchronization.

​
Available updates on the Dashboard site

Update Dashboard Site label shown in the bottom-left area of the navigation You may occasionally see the red Update Dashboard Site label at the bottom of the left navigation and in the User menu. This label appears when WordPress reports one or more updates for the site where MainWP Dashboard is installed. Click the label to open the WordPress Updates screen for your Dashboard site. MainWP shows this label from the Dashboard site’s own WordPress update count. The label is not based on available updates for connected MainWP Child sites.

​
Manage Sites table

Site status icons showing red disconnected, yellow suspended, and green connected states Different icons will be displayed next to child sites to indicate their status.
  • Red icon indicates that the site is disconnected, and you may click the icon to try to reconnect it.
  • Yellow pause icon indicates that the site is suspended. Learn more in Suspend or Unsuspend a Child Site.
  • Green icon indicates that the site is properly connected. Click the icon to start a data synchronization with that site.

Monitoring Page table

Monitoring table indicators for status and Site Health On the Monitoring page, multiple table indicators are used:
  • In the Status column, a green up icon means the monitor is currently online.
  • In the Status column, a red down icon means the monitor is currently offline.
  • In the Status column, a gray circle icon means status is pending (not enough check data yet).
  • In the Status column, a gray stop icon means the monitor is disabled.
  • The Site Health column shows Good (green) or Should be improved (orange) when Site Health monitoring is enabled.
  • Last 24h Status shows hourly green/red/gray indicators and a summary such as Up percentage, Down, or Pending.
